Time 3h54m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 (17.5 ounce) package double chocolate-chunk cookie mix
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 egg, at room temperature
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling, divided
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir cookie mix, oil, and egg together in a large bowl until a soft dough forms. Drop 3 heaping tablespoons of dough on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart to make 3 cookies.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven until set, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Press remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the baking pan.
  • Measure 1 cup cherry pie filling into a small bowl and reserve for the topping; cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
  • Beat cream cheese, remaining cherry pie filling, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended, about 2 minutes. Spread cream cheese mixture over dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Spread whipped topping over cream cheese layer. Top with spoonfuls of the reserved pie filling. Crumble cookies into coarse crumbs and sprinkle on top. Chill until flavors blend, at least 1 hour. Cut into 20 bars.
